The Stuttgart Police Department has filed charges against the man that set fire to a mattress inside its holding cell.

Jevon L. Stigger, 33, of Stuttgart will now be charged with obstruction of governmental operations and two charges of first-degree criminal mischief.

The obstruction charge comes from delaying operations at the police department while smoke was cleared and two criminal mischief charges come from setting fire to the mattress and plugging the toilet inside the cell.

The Stuttgart Fire Department was called and placed high powered fans at the west side entrance at the SPD on Jan. 23. The mattress had been removed.

Stigger was placed in one of the holding cells after being brought in on second-degree criminal mischief charges and an unauthorized use of vehicle charge. He was searched before being placed in the cell, according to SPD.

It was later discovered that Stigger found a pair of pants inside the cell that had a book of matches in them, which he used to set the fire. He also found a disposable cup that he used to plug off water and flood the area.
